AN ACT
To confer jurisdiction on the State of North Dakota over offenses
committed by or against Indians on the Devils Lake Indian Reservation.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That jurisdiction is hereby conferred on the State of North Dakota over offenses committed by or against Indians on the Devils
Lake Indian Reservation in North Dakota to the same extent as its courts have jurisdiction generally over offenses committed
within said State outside of Indian reservations: Provided, however, That nothing herein contained shall deprive the courts
of the United States of jurisdiction over offenses

defined by the laws of the United States committed by or against Indians on said reservation, nor shall anything herein contained
deprive any Indian of any protection afforded by Federal law, contract, or treaty against the taxation or alienation of any
restricted property.
